Whilst we were on our Mammoth Lakes trip, we decided to swing by Mono Lake on our way back home, since we don’t often get over to the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Of all the things to do while visiting the east side of the Sierra Nevada’s, seeing Mono Lake is probably the last thing worth doing. Unless you enjoy walking through swarms of insects and smelling funky smells, that is.

Here is how you get down to the lake after parking and paying $3 (U.S.) a person. $3 a person, you say? Do they at least put bourbon in the lake for that much? Sadly, the answer is no.

Corinne and I went to go wait in line at the theater about 2 hours before show time, and the line was wrapped around the building. We knew tickets were oversold, so we got out of there and didn’t even waste our time.

People were at the front of the line with chairs and camping gear. If you see that kind of crap, you’re better off just leaving.

We (yes, we) will be leaving for Mammoth Lakes, CA today. We will return in a few days. Maybe I’ll have something to write about then. Probably.

Anyway, I have to do dishes, take out garbage, take care of some hot sauce thats been inside me for 12 hours, shower, take 2/3 of our dogs to a kennel, then sit at home until Corinne gets back from her “few hours” at work so we can leave.

Yesterday (Or maybe the day before, I can’t quite remember exactly) marked 4 years of NOT being in the Navy. Which also means that I am no longer in the Inactive Reserves, which means that unless a draft is implemented, I won’t be summoned to “fight” for this ridiculous country.

And by “fight,” I mean “fix, repair, and maintain shipboard electronics, communication and navigation devices.”
